ABOUT ME

Being half Dutch half Ecuadorian I grew up mostly in The Netherlands, having spent numerous summers with my family in Quito. I just finished my Master Nanobiology in Delft and traveling to Spain next week. Back home I used to live in a student house with 18 people which was a lot of fun! I also studied one semester in Denmark during my bachelor, living the student life there. In the next months I'll be looking for a PhD, but in the meantime enjoying a nice holiday in Spain with my boyfriend.

In my free time I like to make music. I play the violin in an orchestra and my own disco band (yes, those 70's and 80's hits!). I also love cooking and everything nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people in the countries I'm visiting, not only travellers, but I guess that's what everyone wants here on CS. Learning abouth the culture, what things to do, and practicing my Spanish!

Interests

Music! I'm a passionate violin player, classical music as well as jazz and others. Love to go to festivals and concerts! Also really like to go out for a run.
